The only important score Williams ever did.

[Andy 5,382]

Hell yesss! THREE CDs. 

[John Takis 312]

This was a bittersweet project for me, since it was the subject of my last conversation with Intrada founder Douglass Fake. I won't jump the gun by spilling any details about the new album, but this was one of Doug's favorite John Williams scores. I wish he was around to see the release reach like-minded fans, but I take some comfort in the fact that he had heard the master, read my notes, and seemed extremely happy with the way the whole production was shaping up. I hope everyone here will be as pleased as he was!

[filmmusic 2,332]

Such great news to wake up to!

[Doo_liss 6,967]

"We are sooo back!"

[Dr. Rick 1,225]

Paging Mr. @Edmilson 😂 

 

so excited for this one!  Day 1 order for me!

[artguy360 1,937]

Awesome news! A fantastic JW score. One of his more interesting Americana focused scores.

[Amer 2,315]

WOW A Long awaited expansion. Brilliant Main theme. I'am eager to get this because Matessino will do a fantastic job on the sound mix as I was not so happy with the mushy sound on the ost album. I'm sure this will sound tremendously better than ever and the 3CD program suggests a lot unreleased, unused and tons of alternates.

 

Thanks Intrada. And yes..a  bit bittersweet because I think this will also be one of the last Doug Fake projects as he was so fond of war related film scores as confirmed by John Takis above.

[Holko 10,618]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSS

 

3CD suggests plenty of space for all the source music! But also for the OST, eh

[Incanus 5,827]

Fantastic news! Hopefully 3 CDs means space for alternates and source music.

[The Train Station 9,077]

Hope it has the David Arnold demos.

[crumbs 15,002]

Absolutely fantastic news!!! Thank you MM and Intrada and John Takis and everyone involved!

 

Also great to see another Disney title from Intrada... hopefully bodes well for Nixon in the future.

 

Very curious about the 3rd CD. There's a stack of classical source music in the film (maybe JW liked all the selections?) so a nice suite of alternates mixed with source could be a Sabrina-esque treat

Nice one and long awaited 😃 Can't wait to read the track list.

Since Thor pointed me to how similar this is to Dry Your Tears Africa I cannot not hear that in The Patriot.  

 

Really looking forward to exploring this. Why three CDs?

What's on disc 3?

Just the OST?

Or was this originally planned as a musical, too?

We will find out soon.

[Holko 10,618]

Remembering some of the speculatory tracklists, maybe by @BrotherSound, didn't it all fit well on 2 discs? OK now I'm worried that this'll cost 60€ purely because of a completely useless shuffled copypaste inclusion which Doug had a bit of a fetish for, remember Spacecamp?

[A. A. Ron 2,040]

Took a stab at my own cover using some fan art I found.

 

[BB-8 4,114]

A very timely release. ;-)

[artguy360 1,937]

Wait a minute, are you telling me Mel Gibson saved the Scottish and the Americans?!

[Alejandro 28]

Does any one have the video before a Pops Goes the Fourth concert that showed Williams and Gibson at the recording sessions, where Williams conducted the main theme with violin?

The OSS.

 

 

 

*Original ScreenSaver.

[Thor 8,637]

It's a fine score, although I'm obviously pleased with the existing release. Here's the 8-page, "regular" PATRIOT discussion thread, in which I said pretty much all I had to say about it:

Too much info. I want a curated version.

WOW!

 

Another holy grail

It doesn't say expanded so it's probably just the OST.

Fucking amazing.

Yeah I hate it when they include the OST just because. Include the unique bits of the OST, nothing else.

[Amer 2,315]

Actually I never warmed up to the OST presentation. It was hodgepodge of highlights and it never built into a proper flow. That's what MM would do while restoring the linear progression of the score and then working out a listenable program that gives the score a whole new life of its own. 

 

Plus the sound upgrade and remixing would add the bonus points.

 

 

[Richard P 4,359]

Only a week into 2025 and already a grail for some... a bit like a BF extension  

 

Not an auto-purchase here as I only have around half the the OST in my playlist and I don't know the score at all, but definitely open to discovering new material.

It was teased as an upcoming release right after the heals of the SUGARLAND EXPRESS podcast but then got delayed even though the title wasn't mentioned. Which is most likely the approval process. 

[Richard P 4,359]

Schedule-wise, it sounds like it was indeed delayed from the summer, but how it's turned out in the end makes it feel like a post-Christmas extra treat.

 

With LLL's BF part III imminent, could potentially be a very exciting January.

[crocodile 8,704]

Well, it makes sense to release it this year for the 25th anniversary.

[Holko 10,618]

And to pick this day is... well, certainly a choice.

It should have been 4rth of July last year. Alas.

Given the timing of those comments in the Sugarland podcast, it's very possible it was intended for July 4th last year.

Off the top of my head the only recent examples of Mike including the OST presentation are Eiger, Dracula, Superman, ET, Spacecamp and Jurassic Park. The first 5 were because of alternate album mixes or album-specific recordings, and the latter was simply because they had free space to throw it in.

 

The Patriot OST has neither of those and would be completely redundant. I suspect (hope) it will be more like Sabrina, where everyone assumed CD2 would be the OST but we were surprised with something totally unexpected. Hopefully a collection of source cues and alternates nobody knew about

 

[Richard P 4,359]

So that's almost exactly 6 months of delays due to approvals - assuming that Mike knew that legal stuff was the only thing to do when he recorded that.

 

I wonder what the longest approval process ever has been. The longest I know of is Varese's What Lies Beneath which one of the producers mentioned at FSM had been in legal limbo since 2016. (so 8 years)

X-Men was stuck in limbo for years, if I remember correctly.

It's important to preserve Williams' album edits.

WotW too -because there was free space for it and it covers some alternates.

But several of those (specially Eiger, Dracula and Spacecamp) were OST's that were really hard to find to start with, so it makes sense to include them. In this particular case (as in a lot of recent Elfman expansions), including the OST just seems an unnecessary addition (since the OST is so easy to find), that will probably needlessly increase the price of this release, unless there has been such a massive improvement in the mix and sound quality that it makes it worthwhile to double dip.

Then release it on streaming, or make a Mondo vinyl like with Hook or whatever.

One hope though is that Intrada has a history of not really bumping the price up in such cases. Wasn't Robin Hood still 35$ for 4CDs or something?

[Davis 3,278]

I really hope it’s not too expensive, because this set is a must-have for every fan of JW’s music.
 

Thank you, Intrada!
